Property Arvert (17)
Ideally located just 8 to 10 km from the finest beaches of the Royan coastline—from La Palmyre and the unspoilt Côte Sauvage to Ronce-les-Bains—this former manor house, dating back to 1813, is set at the heart of a former Charente country estate extending over approximately 14,922 sqm. Arranged around an elegant courtyard featuring an original stone well, the property showcases harmonious traditional architecture with its beautiful stone façades, buildings surrounding the courtyard, and an impressive collection of period outbuildings. Offering exceptional potential for transformation, this is a rare opportunity to create a remarkable country residence in one of the most sought-after areas of Charente-Maritime. The estate offers approximately 365 sqm (3,928 sq ft) of living accommodation, complemented by around 300 sqm (3,229 sq ft) of additional outbuildings. The main residence, extending to 186.42 sqm (2,007 sq ft), currently provides a true blank canvas for a comprehensive renovation project. Its generous proportions allow for a complete redesign of the interior, whether to create an elegant family home, a multi-generational residence, or a hospitality venture. Adjoining the main house, a secondary building comprises two independent apartments of approximately 42 sqm and 40 sqm, both requiring updating and offering additional opportunities for private guest accommodation or independent living spaces. On the opposite side of the courtyard, a beautifully renovated guest house of 96.69 sqm (1,041 sq ft) is immediately habitable, providing comfortable accommodation while the remainder of the estate is restored. The former agricultural buildings represent another major asset of the property. They include an impressive open-fronted barn with magnificent vaulted timber framing, a former piggery, an old dovecote, and several additional outbuildings, all offering considerable scope for conversion, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The grounds, extending to approximately 1.5 hectares, feature three original wells and benefit from dual access, including a secondary entrance leading directly onto a country lane, allowing for a practical and flexible organisation of the estate. The property requires renovation to fully reveal its outstanding potential. However, these works offer the opportunity to create a truly unique estate that combines the timeless character of its historic architecture with contemporary living standards, while preserving the authenticity of its exterior. Its location is one of its greatest strengths. The beaches and golf course of La Palmyre are reached in approximately 10 minutes, while the Royan Golf Club in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer and the vibrant centre of Royan are approximately 20 minutes away. The bridge to Île d'Oléron can be reached in under 20 minutes, while La Rochelle, with its TGV railway station and international airport, is approximately one hour away. With its generous accommodation, substantial grounds, exceptional collection of buildings and highly desirable location, this distinguished former Logis Charentais represents a rare opportunity for a discerning buyer seeking to create a prestigious private residence, an exclusive hospitality project, or an exceptional country estate with enduring character. The main residence (186.42 sqm) has an Energy Performance Rating of F (336 kWhEP/sqm/year) and a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Rating of C (18 kg CO₂/sqm/year). The planned renovation works provide an excellent opportunity to significantly enhance its energy efficiency. The renovated guest house (96.69 sqm) benefits from an Energy Performance Rating of D (242 kWhEP/sqm/year) and a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Rating of B (9 kg CO₂/sqm/year), offering comfortable accommodation that is immediately ready for use.
